Measurements were made with the new, large anticoincidence-shielded spectrometer HA GAR at angles from 30° to 150° to the beam direction. Differential and total cross-sections have been calculated from these data, and show evidence for resonant behaviour for the transitions to the ground state, the first excited state, and the unresolved second and third excited states. The total cross-sections for these transitions peak at a proton energy of about 46 MeV which is twice the centroid energy of the Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) based on the ground state of ¹³N.
